EP. 031.3 Formalistic Art Series: Texture - ABC's & 1 2 3's of art

Released: Mar 3, 2017

This next episode in the series hit on Texture in art. We examine a few pieces of art and describe how texture really helps to draw in the critic to the particular piece of art.

The first piece we look at in this episode is Knight, Death and the Devil by Hans Baldung, Albrecht Dürer. We talk about the piece of art itself, the process in which it was created, (which is really fascinating and impressive) the detail in it and the varying textures that can beed felt and seen.

We hit a more popular artist in the second painting, one we've talked about before, and that is Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. We look into the texture and types of texture used to give this a real life feel. This is a more realistic texture approach to painting.

Next is a really cool floral painting by Paula Nizamas titled Kissed by the Sun in which there is some great texture and feeling to it. This painting seems to have flowers that pop off in an almost 3D way!

And last but not least we talk about a photo of a painting, its like art in art of what look like a burial ceremony illusion of men smoking in the hole dug for a casket. This piece give an illusion of realistic things as well as making one feel like they are in the ground.
